Please be reminded that the multiple-choice scanning and survey data collection service of the NCS Opscan 8/50 will cease soon. Originally the service was planned to cease by the end of Semester B 2008-09, but it is now extended to December 2009 (i.e. at the end of Semester A, 2009-10) to allow more time for our users to look for other alternatives. For queries on other alternatives, please feel free to contact the CSC Help Desk. How to Go Green: Double-sided Printing Double-sided (or 2-sided or duplex) printing should be used whenever possible. Besides the benefits of saving trees, reducing carbon in the atmosphere, and holding a handier set of hardcopies, surprisingly it can save up your print quota. With immediate effect, whenever you use duplex printing to print on a piece of paper through the Quota Controlled Fast Print Queue, your print quota will be deducted by 1.5 instead of 2. This is really a big saver! To use double-sided printing, when you print:
Using double-sided printing is a small change but can have a big impact. As going green is our common goal, act NOW to show your support! |

Microsoft (MS) has formally announced the availability of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) for Windows XP SP2 and other Windows environments through the Windows Update Service. In order to let all internal service providers have time to train their staff for supporting IE7 and application developers have sufficient time to resolve any compatibility problem between IE7 and their application systems, the Computing Services Centre (CSC) has decided to defer the automatic upgrade of IE7 of all campus PCs joining the CityUMD domain (i.e. all Staff LAN and Student LAN PCs) for three months. As IE7 has significant improvements in performance, stability, security, application compatibility, and others, we hope that users can enjoy all these favorable features without unnecessary delay. We will monitor the progress of this preparation task and see whether shortening of the blocking period is necessary. If Staff LAN users have a necessity to use IE7, they may perform the upgrade manually. However, users have to check whether this upgrade is reversible or not as the version has not been certified by some of the major application and database vendors. Hence it may still have compatibility problems with some of the web-based systems. For those users who had already upgraded to IE7 and wanted to activate application systems (for example, Web Mail) via the CityU Intranet Menu (whether at home or on campus), they should uncheck "Use TLS 1.0", and check "Use SSL 2.0" and "Use SSL 3.0" under the "Advanced" tab of the "Internet Options" in the "Tools" pull down menu. For further information, please consult the Service Desk. References:
